Please remember that YOU CAN ORDER through my site - just click on my email and I'll give you a good price on the pieces finished or a ONE-OFF especially designed for you!

In Annie Blackberry news...

I just heard from www.toggle.co.nz that Sunday Star Times contacted them for a photo of Annie Blackberry's Lego Jewellery! When I called them they said that it would be in the 'Going Up' Meter column of their Sunday magazine! Yay!! M2 Womens Magazine did a 2 page spread on Etch which is Annie Blackberry's primary stockist of the 16 stores we have. Although AB didn't get a mention ( :( ) our jewellery can be seen in the centre of the photo accompanying the story.

Thank you to Tauranga Interior Designer and Artist and friend, Antonia Cooney, for hosting a wonderful Annie Blackberry jewellery party!! It was so fun. Her lovely Mediterranean-style house provided a beautiful backdrop for a packed party! It was lovely to meet everybody and I was very encouraged by the enthusiam (and sales) generated for AB.

IF YOU'D LIKE TO HOST AN Annie Blackberry JEWELLERY PARTY just email me :) The hostess gets a free piece of jewellery and prices are discounted. Plus it's just really fun!! Thanks to Lillybeth Melmoth of A Beautiful Education for her help and make-up expertise.

THANK YOU to YOU for supporting me and reading my blog. I love my customers and supporters - I couldn't keep going if it wasn't for you.

Love Annie xxxx

Summer I Love You!

Summer, summer, summer! Ahhhhhhhh......

Tonight I had the best night - Andrew and I went to the coffee club for dinner - I love how they bring you the bill (I wish I could just put my card on the plate and say 'charge it' but it's just too Amercian ;) Plus I was paying by Eftpos). We saw Rach from Etch and it was lovely to see her. Then Debs and I had a drink at Orange Zephyr and were served by my lovely friend Sam and we listened to Jazz and talked about God. Then Andrew and I went to the Friends of the Warehouse nihgt and nothing was on special :(

ANYWAY....here is my new stuff, hope you love it :)

I thought it was meant to be sunny! But there has been drizzle all day...which makes the perfect excuse to stay inside and watch Battlestar Galactica and make jewellery :) Oooooo that does sound good!

Yes, my new favourite show is Battlestar Galactica. I never thought I'd be the Trekkie type (openly anyway) who turned up to conventions dressed in mustard jumpsuits with cool aluminium bradges but it kinda turns out I'ma geek after all (WHO would have known...? Hmmmm....). I absolutely love it except for them saying FRAK every five seconds and extending the 'little frakker' and 'frak off'. VERY annoying. Do they only have one swear word in space different to us earthlings?! My husband calls it '24 in space' but I think it's more like 'Lost in Space' Get it!? LOST in Space :) Hee ha ha. Geekling!

Here is some of my new stuff. I want to really test the boundaries of jewellery, really see what can be made into a necklace. I have some new stuff coming folks so look out!! :)

Toggle and New Jewels

One of my most popular figures are the
*scary* Tusken Raiders (below).

Der shorwa iz an ooooglyyyyyy face unda dat hood :)

I am am excited to announce that Annie Blackberry has been accepted for www.toggle.co.nz! Thanks Toggle! This is a NZ website that handpicks the nest of NZ's artists and crafters to sell their wares both here and overseas. It's so cool. The co-manager of Toggle actually makes large chain necklaces from wool - love it! And there's lot of unique and handmade homeware, clothing, accessories and jewellery.
